| How Radiosity Radiant Barriers Work |
Infrared energy from the sun strikes the surfaces of your home. When this happens, the infrared (radiant) energy is
transformed into heat energy. Heat energy is then radiated by infrared into your home. Simply stated, the
construction materials of your home have become infrared heat sources.
Radiosity 3000 has been formulated to block a significant portion of this radiant source. Radiosity 3000 is added to
paint, then applied by conventional means. Once applied to the paintable surfaces of your home, heat producing
infrared energy is reflected back outside.
By reducing infrared energy, loading on your air conditioning system is reduced. And when your air conditioner is not
working as hard, or as often, your electric bill is reduced. Typical savings average 15 to 20%.
Is your home already in need of an exterior paint job? Now is the time to add Radiosity Radiant Barriers to your
paint. When applied to exterior walls the heat reduction lowers summer cooling costs and helps to protect the siding
from heat as well. And with the added hardness of Radiosity 3000, the paint will last longer.
Radiosity Radiant Barriers also work on interior surfaces. What about that gabled ceiling that heats up your home in
the summer? Or that West facing wall that heats up that one room? These interior surfaces can be protected with
Radiosity 3000. And with the addition of Radiosity 3000, interior surfaces are more washable.
Exterior metal roofs can be protected by using DTM or Elastomeric paints and Radiosity 3000. When applying
Radiosity 3000 to metals roofs, Radiosity Vehicle must be used on the top side.

Radiosity Radiant Barrier 3000 provides an effective radiant barrier when applied to surfaces that readily transfer heat. Radiosity
3000 is not an insulation but, due to it's nature, will reflect heat in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Much as painting a
window will block visible sunlight, applying Radiosity 3000 to an attic ceiling will block light in the infrared spectrum. Radiation in
the infrared spectrum is responsible for much of the heat rise in your home.
Radiosity 3000 can be used on walls or ceilings. Any surface that can be painted. Radiosity is a paint additive that serves a dual
purpose. First, a radiant barrier is produced. Second, this additive provides a harder surface. The radiant barrier saves energy,
which saves money.

Expected Energy Savings:
Radiosity can provide energy savings that average 15 to 20 percent. Conditions that can affect these savings vary from one
home to the next. The U.S. Department of Energy has performed studies on radiant barriers. The D.O.E. has determined
that a savings up to 42% can be realized from Radiant Barriers. If you save energy, you save money.

Types of Paint to Use:
Most types of paints can be used with Radiosity 3000.
For Latex based paints, satin, semi gloss, or gloss must be used.
As slight color and texture changes can occur, test an area first for color and texture matching.
For metal roofing, spraying from the topside, use a high quality DTM or Elastomeric paint.
For attic installations, use latex based paints.
